In this urgently needed book, Marc Crépon addresses the nature of hatred and its manifestations in international and domestic terrorism, racism, war and other forms of violence. Looking at the evidence of violence motivated by hatred, including US racial segregation, South African apartheid and the terrorist attacks in New York City in 2001 and in Paris in 2015, Crépon makes a compelling case for why hatred is the burden of our times. With inspiration from the nonviolence resistance movements of Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr., Crépon reveals how philosophy and literature, using courage and a new language, can overcome the many forms of hatred and violence present in our lives today.
